anthonino's taverna

toastedravioliwas excellent. leigh the server was helpful and very gracious during our lunch visit.

awesome calamari, jumbo toastedravioliand pizza.

swing and a miss. after a good start with the local schlafly seasonal brew and the signature toastedravioliappetizer, things went sideways. after some time, the waitress came out to declare the kitchen had decided my wife's chicken spedini, highly recommended by the waitress, was too small so they started over. when it arrived, my wife cut in to it to find it to be undercooked. when it returned, it was cooked and the flavor was good. the opportunity for a good first impression had passed. my pasta carbonara was good with salty pancetta and creamy sauce, a little cold, though.

we'd try it again because it seemed promising. it was certainly popular.

some of the best pizza i have ever had.ravioliwas awesome as well. big thumbs up!

the toastedravioliwere filled (about half way, a bit skimpy) with both meat and cheese, unusual for sure, but very good. most are just meat, but the ricotta definitely added a dimension that i really liked. the other people i was with moderately enjoyed their meals, but nothing was really great. a solid enough effort, but the fact that it's on the hill with some real powerhouse italian restaurants, it's not one of my top choices.

this italian-greek hybrid is amazing! first off, the toastedravioliare a must, and their gyro pizza is down right ridiculous.

if you're anywhere near the hill and want some good food, it's a no brainer.

dinner here was much anticipated as i had heard nothing but rave reviews about the toastedravioliand chicken marsalis. theravioliand chicken marsalis lived up to the expectations of being very good. the side dishes served with the meal left room for improvement. first the soup was supposed to be a lobster bisque but ended up like a mushroom chowder with almost no lobster. the creamed spinach was bland with little cream or taste for that matter. the the prices were reasonable and the staff quick and attentive.

if you like garlic, the garlic crushed pizza is amazing.

the friedravioliwas the best i've had, but it turns out i don't think friedravioliin general is that great.

awesome experience. we came here on a whim, and ordered the calamari app. they were done perfectly. we also ordered the bakedravioliand a veggie pizza. both were delicious.

toastedravioliappetizer. to die for! made in-house; they melt in your mouth

nice place with two identities: italian and greek on equal footing in a very nice restaurant on the hill.

we started with the fried cheese (halloumi) starter and an order of friedravioli(also cheese): both were gone in minutes. delicious.

i ordered the dolmathes entree (with a side or bolognese pasta of course) and my dinner companion ordered the fire pizza (tzatziki sauce base): these were also very tasty.

staff are friendly, the place is very nice, and they have a full bar if you are craving a cocktail.

we went after the reopened after the new remodel. was very frustrated that there was man drilling while we ate. who would allow that during open hours, it was so loud we couldn't even have a conversation. our waitress was the best, she apologized frequently. she also made us feel like locals, she was so friendly. had the friedravioliand it was really good, the homemade sauce was delish. the raviolis are meat and the flavor was incredible. not blan at all. he had the greek burger and he moaned with each bite said it was one of the best burger he's ever had, i snuck a bite and would have to agree. i had a seafood pasta with shrimp calamari crab claw and clams. would have loved a few more clams and calamari but the flavor was perfect. and the seafood tasted fresh. the waitress recommended getting it with half alfredo have marinara and she could t have suggested better. also the noodles were amazing, cooked perfect and nice and thick.

best toasted ravioli. they have the best toastedraviolii have ever tasted. we have been there several times and have never had a dish that we didn't like...amazing food and service!

excellent!. the food all around is amazing and the quaint neighborhood environment just adds to the experience. the friedravioliwere particularly impressive and definitely the best i have ever had..

nye 2013. so, basically, my mom and i went to kobe japanese steak house around 7pm, we would've been waiting til 11:30-midnight and i was starting to shake because i was so hungry... i originally made reservations @ trattoria marcella for 7pm, they couldn't accommodate us until 9:30pm; it was 8:30ish by now. so i called anthonino's taverna, expecting some kind of wait, especially on nye - i mean they're 1. on the hill and 2. pretty well known.

well to my surprise, i called, and asked about the wait - no wait. at all. we get there and there's literally 3 other tables seated. we were sat right away, accommodated right away. they told us the kitchen was closing at 9:30, it was 9:15 or so, but our waitress, lee, (she was a sweetheart) told us not to worry because she didn't have any plans for the evening and the only reason they were closing the kitchen earlier was to allow the staff to enjoy some of their nye off of work. lee was such a nice waitress and extremely knowledgable about not only the menu, but the history behind the restaurant.

this place must be known for their pizza because all 3 tables had pizza on their tables... we didn't order one this time, but next time, that's definitely the plan! they looked amazing.

right away we ordered the toastedraviolias an appetizer and oh my gosh the best toastedraviolii have ever had!!! it comes with 6 big raviolis and a bowl of red sauce w/ parmesan. i highly recommend them as an appetizer. you are also served with fresh bread and olive oil for dipping, very good! i ordered the salmon for dinner w/ spaghetti squash (or i could have gotten pasta) - not a big fan of spaghetti squash, but the salmon was great. i also got a house salad with my meal, mostly full of lettuce, but i don't really care for house salads anyways - for the most part however, it was good.

my mom got the pasta primavera, so good. i had more of that than my own food it seemed like. would have been good with some sausage or some kind of meat in it, but regardless, it was fantastic. my mom also said her wine was very good.

the bill wasn't expensive at all & i am so glad we were able to eat here. i loved our waitress and how she didn't rush us so she could leave for nye. our food was superb and quick. also, they're planning on expanding their restaurant to the backyard (enclosed dining though) so more people can be served since there usually is a pretty long wait on the weekends. highly recommend this place for good, authentic, inexpensive, italian food. great service and great menu!
